No-Bake Protein Balls
These no-bake protein balls are a quick and easy birthday cake protein balls recipe featuring healthy protein ball snacks packed with oats, cashew butter, and sprinkles for a fun twist.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup cashew butter
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder or cake batter protein powder (50–60 grams)
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup sprinkles of choice
Instructions
- Add the oats, cashew butter, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt to a large bowl. Stir well until a thick dough forms.
- Fold in the sprinkles gently to keep their colors vibrant.
- Scoop out dough and roll into 24 bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes to set if desired, or enjoy immediately!
Notes
Use runny cashew butter: Smooth, drippy nut butter mixes better and helps the dough bind. If the dough looks dry: Add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it comes together smoothly. Want cleaner hands? Chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling to minimize stickiness.
